You have it backwards.
A ship floats higher in seawater than freshwater. This is because the dissolved salt makes seawater denser.
due to the lack of salt content in fresh water. the salinity of ocean water makes it more dense, allowing the boat to sit higher in the water.

salt water is denser than fresh water so it will produce more upthrust due to Archimedes principle
Will a ball float higher in salt or fresh water?
Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.

Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
